How can I capitalize on 5 million views in a month BESIDES using ads?

10 replies
Hi, I run an opinion blog that averages around 3 to 4 million views a month. This month I should finish with 5 million. I've been exploring different ad strategies and I've made a good living that way. But I'd really like to take this to the next level and achieve the enormous financial success that I know my platform could afford me. What are some good ways to monetize my blog outside of ads? I intend to keep the ads, but I'd like to open up some other revenue streams as well.

Keep in mind, I'm just one guy. I don't have a team of people working for me, so any ideas would have to be feasible for my situation. Thank you for your help!

    Wow I wish I had that kind of traffic. Have you tried promoting affiliate offers from Clickbank?

    My only suggestion is that you follow what Mumsnet has done in the UK. They have a few ads and have joint ventured with training organisationsto run courses in their academy section.

    I would see some form of JVs for other products might work for you as you will not to spend any time in delivering the product of service, and could earn upto 50% of the sale price.


    What does your blog do exactly, without giving anything away?

    • harness those views into an email list. Set up an auto-responder to deliver relevant content tailored to your audience and promote JV ventures every 5th mailing.

        Definitely build trust with your list. With each email you could put section at the bottom for recommended resources. This should be split into two sections: Free and Paid with your affiliate link of course.

        I absolutely agree. It's the No.1 way of securing your future income.

        Right now you could drive them to separate FB pages and market to them using FB dark posts.

        I wish ... Congratulations to you ... .

        You nailed it man cause that's exactly what I would have done myself.

        I would simply add an optin form with a good free offer on my website, gather some subscribers daily cause you have the traffic already in the millions and is quite an achievement. Then build a relationship with them and groom them to become buyers.This way you make steady profits.

        This would work if you want to promote general offer like the "make money online offers" cause everyone wants to make some extra income one way or the other.

        Good luck my friend

    It's impossible to monetize without SOME type of advertising haha.

    I think your main concern is having respect and not seeming spammy...

    You might consider having an awesome give away in exchange for an email list, and have a planned followup sequence that would be congruent with whatever your niche is?

    If you're not sure what type of offers to promote, visit offervault.com and discover some stuff that your list might like. (And, promote them via your list/autoresponder to automate the process, should be easy to feed and test your email atutoresponders with that much traffic).

    Apart from Ads, you can build list, sell guest posts, use CPA offers.
    Make sure you don't look your site too spammy with ads.
    Impose all monetization methods reasonably.

    If I was you I would put 100% of my focus trying to capture as many of them and put them onto my email list. Then I would given them valuable content answering what they are looking for which should be the reason why they are coming to your site.
